Witness location : (Egypt) (57 km N from epicenter)

It felt the building was shaking left to right and back but no noise. 
I had earthquake feeling 2x and there was always a roaring sound like a big train or truck passing by. Not this time.

It was very weak at the beginning but then it kept on shaking a bit harder for couple of more seconds

The earthquake felt fairly strong all the wardrobes in my bedroom banged and shook. The bed shook and moved across the floor ...

It was for me the first time i felt an earthquake so i was a little startled and just waited it to pass, I was also not sure what happened. But somebody with me experienced an earthquake in 1992 in Qena, where buildings were collapsing, and he wanted to go outside but didn't because I didn't feel the emergency to go outside, it was still a little "unreal" for me, more like this is not happening here. I think many people experience their "first earthquake" like this and maybe because of this they not go outside.

We were dining outside a restaurant, the table trembled as though a large lorry was passing close by, but there was no large transport around. It lasted about 10-15 seconds

The floor was trembling a bit and my son said he felt pressure in his ears....scary moment.  We also felt another earthquake that hit Sinai late last year at around 910am and was registered at 5.6.
